I am well known for my lino cuts. I create unique pieces of art with lively line work, vibrant colours and a whimsical thematic approach. My work must ultimately transport viewers into an energised dimension.
I love the three-dimensional quality of carving into lino. As the print is black and white it allows me to experiment with colour.
Other mediums include painting, charcoal drawings, monotypes, serigraph and woodcuts.
I welcome assignments as it mostly challenges me to explore new avenues in conceptualising an artwork.
It stretches my boundaries to work with themes and concepts that I might not have explored. This has often led to exhibitions and changes in my approach as pertains to content and technique.
I spend a long time planning and conceptualising the artwork before transferring the image to the Lino block. I have developed and followed this proven process through the years.
